Business and Human Rights
Intermediate • 24 Hrs
Business and Human Rights (BHR) is a concept that refers to the responsibility of businesses to respect and protect human rights. It recognizes that businesses have a significant impact on human rights, both positive and negative and that they have a responsibility to ensure that their operations and supply chains do not contribute to human rights abuses.
The BHR concept is based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which were endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011. The Guiding Principles outline three key responsibilities of businesses in relation to human rights:
- The responsibility to respect human rights: Businesses have a responsibility to respect human rights by avoiding infringing on the rights of others and addressing any adverse impacts that may arise from their operations.
- The responsibility to protect human rights: Businesses have a responsibility to protect human rights by taking steps to prevent or mitigate any adverse human rights impacts that may arise from their operations or products.
- The responsibility to remedy human rights abuses: Businesses have a responsibility to provide effective remedies for any adverse human rights impacts that may arise from their operations, including providing compensation or other forms of redress.
The BHR concept has gained increasing attention and importance in recent years, with more and more companies recognizing the need to integrate human rights considerations into their business operations. Governments and civil society organizations have also played an important role in promoting the BHR concept and encouraging businesses to adopt responsible human rights practices.
Energy Economics
Expert • 8 Hrs
Energy economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the production, distribution, and consumption of energy resources, as well as the economic impact of energy policies and regulations. The discipline considers the ways in which energy supply and demand affect the broader economy, including macroeconomic variables such as GDP, inflation, and employment.
Energy economics examines the economic factors that influence energy markets, such as the pricing of fossil fuels and the impact of environmental policies on renewable energy development. The discipline also considers the cost-effectiveness of energy production technologies, the impact of energy efficiency measures on energy consumption, and the trade-offs between energy security and environmental sustainability.
Some key concepts in energy economics include:
- Energy supply and demand: Energy economics considers the factors that influence energy supply and demand, including changes in population and economic growth, technological innovation, and government policies.
- Energy pricing: Energy pricing is a key driver of energy production and consumption decisions. Energy economics considers the determinants of energy prices, including supply and demand factors, market structure, and government policies.
- Energy markets: Energy markets are influenced by a variety of factors, including commodity prices, supply and demand dynamics, and government regulations. Energy economics examines the ways in which these factors interact to shape energy markets.
- Energy policies: Governments play a significant role in shaping energy markets through policies such as subsidies for renewable energy, taxes on carbon emissions, and regulations on energy production and consumption. Energy economics considers the economic impact of these policies and their effectiveness in achieving policy objectives.
Energy economics is an important field for understanding the economic implications of energy production and consumption decisions, and for informing policies that balance energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic growth.

Short Description for Each Course
Introduction to Macro Economics
Introduction to Macroeconomics is an overview of the study of an economy’s overall performance and behavior. It focuses on aggregate indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, and unemployment, examining how these factors interact and influence economic stability and growth. This branch of economics is essential for developing policies and strategies aimed at promoting economic well-being on a national scale.
Introduction to Micro Economics
Introduction to Microeconomics is a study of the individual behavior of economic agents, such as consumers, firms, and industries. It examines how they make decisions regarding the allocation of scarce resources, including production, consumption, and pricing of goods and services. This branch of economics seeks to understand the mechanisms behind supply and demand, market equilibrium, and the impact of government interventions, ultimately providing insights into optimizing decision-making and resource allocation in various economic scenarios.
Energy Economics
Energy Economics is a specialized field of economics that explores the production, distribution, and consumption of energy resources. It examines how energy markets function, the role of government policies, and the environmental consequences of energy use. This discipline also investigates the relationship between energy and economic growth, as well as the implications of renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and technological advancements on market dynamics, energy security, and sustainable development.
Industrial Economics I
Industrial Economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the study of firms, industries, and markets. It examines the structure, conduct, and performance of businesses within different market environments. Key concepts in this field include market competition, entry barriers, pricing strategies, and the role of innovation. Industrial economics also considers the impact of government policies, such as regulation and antitrust laws, on market efficiency and the overall welfare of society.
Industrial Economics II
Industrial Economics 2 develops deeper into the analysis of firms, industries, and markets, exploring more advanced topics and models. This field investigates the strategic behaviour of firms, such as mergers and acquisitions, research and development, and product differentiation. It also examines the role of information and network effects in shaping market outcomes. Furthermore, Industrial Economics 2 evaluates the effects of various market structures on consumer welfare, market power, and overall economic efficiency, as well as the implications of policy interventions and regulations.
International Economics I
International Economics 1 is a branch of economics that studies the flow of goods, services, and capital across national borders. It seeks to understand the principles behind international trade, comparative advantage, and the impact of tariffs and trade policies on global economic welfare. This field also examines the determinants of exchange rates, the balance of payments, and the role of international organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in shaping global economic interactions.
International Economics II
International Economics 2 delves into more advanced topics in the study of cross-border economic activities. It examines the role of multinational corporations, foreign direct investment, and the impact of globalization on economic growth and income distribution. This field also explores the dynamics of international financial markets, including the causes and consequences of financial crises, the role of capital controls, and the influence of global financial institutions. Additionally, International Economics 2 evaluates the implications of regional trade agreements, economic integration, and the challenges of coordinating international economic policies.
Economics of Human Resources
Economics of Human Resource, also known as Labor Economics, is a branch of economics that focuses on the functioning of labor markets and the dynamics of employment. It examines the supply and demand for labor, wage determination, and the impact of education and training on productivity and earnings. This field also investigates the role of labor market institutions, such as unions and government policies, on employment outcomes, income inequality, and job security. The Economics of Human Resource seeks to provide insights into optimal human resource management strategies and the implications of demographic changes on labor market outcomes.
Natural Resources and Environmental Economics
Natural Resources and Environmental Economics is a subfield of economics that studies the allocation, management, and sustainability of natural resources and the environment. It investigates how economic activities impact the environment, and how policies can be designed to mitigate negative consequences such as pollution, deforestation, and climate change. This branch also examines the efficient use and conservation of renewable and non-renewable resources, as well as the valuation of environmental goods and services. The goal of Natural Resources and Environmental Economics is to promote sustainable development and achieve a balance between economic growth and environmental preservation.
